FOREWORD

Texas A&M University is constantly endeavoring to maintain safe working conditions for theprotection of its employees.

Maintenance of a safe environment on board the SEDCO/BP-471 (JOIDES Resolution) is anongoing concern of the Ocean Drilling Program and SEDCO FOREX. Both organizations stress educationfor all permanent employees; each new scientific party is introduced to the overall safety program andinformed of practices pertinent to their specific working areas.

SEDCO FOREX has established thorough hazard identification, accident prevention and safetyorientation and training systems in its many years of rig operation. The ODP incorporates these and manyother safety features, unique to the scientific shipboard environment, into the daily operation of the drillingvessel. All equipment aboard the ship is installed and operated in accordance with applicable marine lawsand approved by ODP and SEDCO FOREX. Regulations concerning the use of heavy machinery andchemicals have been expanded to include equipment encountered in the Lab Stack and the Fantail; ODPtechnical staff members have also been incorporated into the shipboard fire-fighting/emergency responseteam. Rules and procedures outlining various levels of safety policy, from general shipboard informationto lab-specific plans, are available for reference in various locations on the ship.

The varied nature of the work requires the services of skilled, trained, and responsible personnelwho are aware of the hazards and know that this work can be done safely if it is done correctly. Goodoperating practice is likewise safe practice. It is recognized that new conditions are constantly encounteredand it is impossible to set forth procedures covering all situations. It is necessary, therefore, to be ever onthe alert and to exercise good judgment.

While aboard ship the Captain is responsible for the ultimate safety of the personnel and the drillship and has primary command during emergency situations affecting safety of life at sea. The OperationsSuperintendent as the senior representative of the Program and Laboratory Officers) have the responsibil-ity and authority to assure that these procedures are followed. When in doubt, contact them.

Please read this book carefully and become thoroughly acquainted with safety procedures con-tained herein.

Remember: Safety is only as good as you make it. Use your head--be concerned for yourown safety and the safety of your co-workers.

SAFETY AWARENESS PROGRAM

GENERAL SHIPBOARD SAFETY ASPECTS

General safety policy is outlined below and the Marine Technician Manual supplied tonew seagoing personnel prior to their cruises.

SEDCO FOREX-issued SEDCO/BP-471 safety instruction handbooks are routinelydistributed at the beginning of the cruise to all first time ODP participants; additionalinformation can be obtained from the Bridge crew, ODP Lab Officer, or Yeoperson.

A mandatory safety policy and procedures meeting is called at the beginning of a cruiseby the ODP Supervisors for all new ODP participants. The Captain, or a mate, presentsthe drilling contractors philosophy on shipboard deportment; the shipboard physicianprovides information concerning health and hygiene; organized tours are conductedeither by the SEDCO FOREX or the ODP Drilling Superintendent to introduce variousareas of the vessel. Small groups are briefed on potential dangers associated with specificregions and advised what safety equipment is required when visiting critical areas.

A "map" designating safety equipment and features (such as emergency exits, fireextinguishers, eye wash stations, etc.) for his/her particular working area is given to eachscientist in the early days of the cruise.

All technicians are involved with the METS (Marine Emergency Technical Squad)program; four people from ODP Technical Support Group are selected as activemembers by the Lab Officer each cruise. This group was formed to help coordinatesafety activities and to assist SEDCO FOREX personnel in times of emergency. The

METS crew meets with a SEDCO FOREX mate each week to discuss safely in differentareas of the ship, emphasizing potentially hazardous regions in the Lab Stack andFantail. Since the technicians work daily in these areas, they are familiar with theelectrical, water and ducting systems, elevator operation, and hazardous storage locations. The weekly fire and boat drills involve the METS as well; primary duties includeevacuating the laboratory structure, securing the elevator and Underway Geophysics Laband reporting to the site of the simulated fire.

The METS would respond immediately to an emergency, should a fire or emergencyoccur in the Lab Stack, secure the elevator, evacuate personnel, close air ducts, hoodsand ventilation panels, and bring extinguishers, fire hoses and Scott Air Packs to thescene. The squad works closely with the SEDCO FOREX fire-fighting team and wouldbe under their supervision, serving as back-up forces, in an actual shipboard emergency.

The "METS Lab Stack Emergency Fire Fighting Procedures" section of this reportpresents the emergency response role of the METS in greater detail.

A suite of safety films are viewed by all technicians each leg. An expanded schedule offilms, ranging from use of fire extinguishers and lifeboats to chemical storage proce-dures, is required viewing for new personnel.

A number of staff members have completed the week-long TAMU Marine Fire FightingSchool program, consisting of classroom instruction, CPR certification, and actualfighting of fires in realistically simulated shipboard situations.

The technical staff participates in shore-based safety education classes offered by ODP,Texas A&M University, and community programs.

17

General Safetyawareness for allpersonnel

Personal SafetyRegulations

Emergency procedures and boat station bills are posted throughout the ship; each indi-vidual is expected to know his^er lifeboat station and assigned function.

Fire and boat drills are held weekly; attendance is mandatory unless prior exemptionhas been authorized.

In case of fire, sound fire alarm, notify the Bridge (Dial 26) immediately andspecify the location.

Extinguish the fire, if possible, and close doors and ventilation to the space. If conditionspermit, stay and direct the emergency squad to the fire; if not, report to your lifeboatstation.

Do not use the elevator in an emergency!!

Personal safety is addressed with the following regulations:

a. Hard hats are to be worn at all times by personnel aft of the immediate deckhouse or laboratory structure (including walking to/from the fantail).

ODP provides permanent and temporary seagoing personnel with hard hats whileon board.

b. Steel-toed safety shoes must be worn in all areas presenting the possibility for toeinjuries. This includes Jhe drill floor, in an area where supplies are being handled,and particularly in the dock area when cranes are in use. ODP provides perma-nent seagoing personnel with steel-toed boots.

c. Proper clothing should be worn during operation of particularly hazardousequipment to reduce the possibility of accidents.

d. Eye and hearing protection is provided for use in potentially dangerous areassuch as the core lab and fantail.

e. Use of radioactive sources is governed by applicable Texas A&M Universityregulations; ODP supplies TAMU Radiological Safety Office radiation badgesfor all persons working with or near radioactive sources.

f. Ship's machinery, including cranes, air tuggers, most winches, welding equip-ment, etc., should be operated only by appropriate SEDCO FOREX crewmembers. Certain ODP machinery, such as seismic survey equipment anddownhole instrumentation, is to be operated by trained ODP technicians.

Safety protocol and equipment requirements for various areas of the ship are asfollows:

a. Rig floor access is prohibited unless an individual has specific business in thisextremely dangerous region of the ship. Most scientific personnel, with theexception of the co-chiefs and downhole specialists, should not go on the rigfloor without permission. The driller on duty should be notified if he himself hasnot granted permission.

Hard hats and safety shoes are a "must" on the rig floor.

The rig floor should not be used as a "short-cut" to other parts of the vessel!

18

b. The Derrick may not be climbed unless permission has been granted by theODP Operations Superintendent, who clears the request with the SEDCOFOREX drilling supervisor on duty.

c. Non-essential personnel should not visit the bridge or forward area during heavyship traffic, unusual weather conditions, while entering or leaving port, or any time apilot is on board.

d. The captain may, at any time, place certain areas of the ship off-limits due to roughseas, hazardous repair work, and cargo/drilling equipment handling. Notices to thiseffect will be posted in the appropriate areas.

e. These rules are to be followed during port calls or cargo/ personnel transfers while atsea:

1) Safety shoes and hard hats must be worn by individuals in areas, including thedock during crane use, where cargo is being handled.

2) Stay off the main deck as much as possible while cranes are in operation.

3) Forklift operators are responsible for looking out for those working about themand for operating their equipment in a safe and controlled manner.

4) Personnel should not invite visitors on board unless they can escort themaround the ship in a safe manner.

f. SEDCO FOREX personnel will provide instructions for lifeboat and small (inflat-able) boat safety; permission to lower the ODP Zodiac dinghy must be secured fromthe Captain.

No alcohol or other mind-altering substances shall be consumed on board the vessel.

Guidelines for chemical use, storage, and transport:

Chemicals shall be handled with caution and according to directions. In case of doubt overproper procedures, a supervisor and/or reference materials should be consulted.

Use of solvents and other volatile chemicals is restricted to work areas having a fume hood.

Two people should be present when working with volatile and hazardous solvents orchemicals. The location and proper use of safety showers and spill neutralization kits shouldbe known.

Chemically resistant gloves and safety glasses should be worn when handling large quanti-ties of chemicals or when working with concentrated acids and other hazardous compounds.

Liquids used for heavy mineral separations must be used in a fume hood.

Use of hydrofluoric acid and carbon tetrachloride is expressly prohibited except in specialcircumstances and only if written permission is given by the ODP Chief Scientist prior tothe start of the leg. See section on "Use of Hydrofluoric Acid."

Containers of acids and other corrosive chemicals should be transported in a plastic bucket.

If possible, chemicals should be stored in their original shipping boxes.

Solvents, acids, and flammable and other hazardous chemicals should be stored in such away to eliminate the chance of breakage or spillage. Unbreakable, non-reactive containers ofone gallon or less capacity are preferred.

All shipboard chemical containers should be checked and cleaned by the chemist(s) at leastonce per leg to detect and/or prevent possible deterioration and possible leakage.

Chemical and hazardous material storage areas and containers should be marked clearly andthoroughly.

Material safety data sheets for all chemicals on board are available in each Lab and in theLab Officers files.

Fire fighting guidelines for the Computer Room, presented in detail in the "METS Lab StackEmergency Fire Fighting Procedures" section of this report, include specific instructions forthe activation of the Halon Deluge System incorporated into this area.

Emergency procedures for the cryogenic magnetometer in the Paleomagnetics Lab havebeen refined after several years of seagoing experience with this sensitive instrument. Anexcerpt from the Paleomagnetics Laboratory Manual delineating steps taken in event of fire,impact, rapid boiloff, electrical power failure and chill water supply failure is also in the"METS Lab Stack Emergency Fire Fighting Procedures."

21

Fantail Safety on the Fantail is enforced by these rules:

a. Bridge and Underway Geophysics Lab personnel must be notified before seismic ormagnetic survey gear is deployed or retrieved.

b. Deployment and retrieval of survey gear will be performed under the supervision of theLab Officer or his designated representative.

c. Life jackets and safety harnesses will be worn while deploying or retrieving gear fromthe catwalk.

d. With few exceptions, no geophysical gear shall be deployed or retrieved at speedsgreater than 5-6 knots.

HYDROFLUORIC ACID (HF)

USE ABOARD THE SEDCO/BP-471

{JOIDES Resolution)

Page II-1

USE OF HYDROFLUORIC ACID (HF)

Hydrofluoric acid (HF) is a strong acid that palynologists and paleontologists use to dissolve materialin sediment and rock samples.

The following procedures have been adopted and will be used whenever HF is used aboard the ship.

HF will not be used on the JOIDES Resolution unless burn treatment medical supplies and acid spillclean up chemicals are available in sufficient quantities. ODP will coordinate with the SEDCOMedical Officer to ensure medical supplies are available.

ODP should be notified in advance of anticipated HF use on a leg.

Before anyone uses HF, they must sign a copy of the policy stating they have read, understand, andwill abide by this policy. The signed statement will be filed by the Laboratory Officer.

Samples should be processed in groups (10-20 samples) to minimize safety risks. The scientist usingHF will wear safety gloves, apron, and a full face shield.

HF will not be used when ship motion limits normal handling.

Approximately 10 liters of concentrated acid will be stocked aboard the vessel. HF will be stored inclearly labeled plastic containers, as supplied by the vendor, in an approved acid storage area (i.e., theacid storage cabinets in the Second Look Lab and under the HF fume hood in the Paleo Prep Lab).

Used HF will be stored in clearly labeled plastic containers. When a container (20 liter) contains 7liters of used acid, the Lab Officer/or delegate will neutralize the used acid to a 1% concentration byadding it (with stirring) to cold water and aqueous sodium hydroxide.

Caution should be taken not to store discarded HF for extended periods of time since HF willembrittle all plastic materials. Polyethylene is the preferred plastic due to its unusual resistance to HF.

Neutralized HF will be taken off the ship during scheduled port calls and turned over to local authori-ties for disposal.

In the event of a failure of the normal operation of the HF fume hood ventilation system, all HFcontainers will be immediately capped and the hood sash will be closed.

In the event that HF acid (even dilute concentrations) contacts skin or clothing, immediately immersethe affected area with cold water; remove contaminated clothing as rapidly as possible. Summon theShipboard Physician, preferably without interrupting the cold water wash.

Emergency showers and eye washes are available in the hallway immediately outside of the PaleoPrep Lab.

In the event of a HF acid spill, the labstack deck should be vacated by all except the emergencycleanup crew.

Crew members responding to the spill will wear chemical protective suits and breathing apparatuses.

Spill kits are located in the Paleo Prep Lab and in the stair well at the hold level.

METHOD OF DISPOSAL

Hydrogen fluoride can cause serious burns, with the risk from aqueous solutions increasing with concentration.Waste aqueous hydrofluoric acid can be added slowly to a stirred solution of excess slaked lime to precipitatecalcium fluoride, which is chemically inert and has little or no toxic hazard. If no more than about 100 g ofcalcium fluoride is formed, the suspension can be washed down the drain; larger amounts should be separatedand sent to a landfill.

As an alternative, hydrofluoric acid can be diluted to about 1% concentration by adding it with stirring to coldwater in a polyethylene or borosilicate glass vessel, neutralizing the acid with aqueous sodium hydroxide, andprecipitating calcium fluoride by addition of excess calcium chloride solution.

Soluble metal fluorides such as sodium and potassium fluorides are highly poisonous. They can be converted intocalcium fluoride by treating aqueous solutions with calcium chloride solution. Boron trifluoride can be dissolvedin water and the fluoride ion precipitated as calcium fluoride by adding calcium chloride solution. The calciumfluoride is filtered and sent to a landfill, and the filtrate is flushed down the drain.

PROCEDURES FOR HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL SPILLS

GeneralProcedure

Location ofEmergencyEquipment

AcidsBaker Liquid"Neutrasol"

This section explains the proper procedure for handling a spill of Acids, Alkali, orFlammable solvents that could cause injury on contact or by inhalation.

If the liquid has spilled on a person, immediately get to a safety shower and wash off thechemical. The showers are located on each landing as well as the Chemistry Lab and in thehall near the Paleo Lab on the Focsle Deck; at the Photo Table and near Physical PropertiesLab on the Bridge Deck. Remove clothing if necessary and notify the Physician.

• .

Be sure the immediate area is clear of personnel.

Notify the Lab Officer and/or Bridge of the spill.

Isolate the area of the spill. This can be done by closing the doors and fire vents.However, do not enter a fume filled area to close the vents without a Scott Airpack.

Put on the proper gear for the clean up. This gear includes the white plastic suit, rubberor plastic gloves, and a Scott Airpack.

Use the proper spill kit (detailed below) to neutralize, clean up, and dispose of thespilled chemical. Special attention must be paid for pieces of glass from the brokenbottle. If the spill kits have not arrived, contain and isolate the spill to prevent spreading.This may also be done at the time of the spill and before putting on the gear if the area isextremely well ventilated. Remember the acid fumes will very quickly damage your lungs.

Wash the area with soap and water to ensure that all of the neutralizing materials have beencleaned up.

Ventilate area thoroughly before allowing general use.

The nearest Air Packs are located near the main Deck copier, in the Core Entry area next tothe Core Rack, and in the Tool Pusher's Office.

Clean-up Suits are located in the locker in the L.O.'s office.

Neutralizing and absorbent kits are located at the bottom of the stairs on the Hold Deck inthe Lab Stack. The Fisher kits are equipped with glasses, plastic gloves, and scoops. TheBaker kits contain scoops.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF CLEAN-UP KITS

There are two types of kits for the neutralization and absorption of an acid spill.These are the 2.5-gallon plastic jugs containing the blue liquid.This liquid should not be used on oxidizing acids such as fuming nitric.The 2.5-gallon jug should neutralize 2.5 litres of acid. Concentrated sulfuric acid will be94% neutralized.

1) If acid concentration is over 50%, dilute with water.2) Apply liquid around perimeter of the spill.3) Gradually mix neutralizer with acid. Foaming and a color change from blue

to pink are indicators that neutralization has started.4) Add more neutralizer as needed until mixture retains blue color.5) Clean up blue liquid with shop-vac or by using clay absorbent. Dispose of

neutralized acid and/or clay in plastic sacks.6) Wash spill area thoroughly. Clean shop-vac and any other tools used.

1) Sprinkle contents around (thereby containing the spill) and into spill.2) Thoroughly mix powder with spill until color change of pink to blue occurs.

In order to aid the neutralization, water may be added to the slurry.3) Continue adding powder (and water) to the spill, if needed.4) Scoop up mixture and place in plastic bags.5) Dispose of mixture properly.6) Clean scoop and return to barrel.7) Wash spill area.

1) Using scoop in box, apply powder around and into liquid spill containingthe spill.

2) If liquid concentration is greater than 40%, add cold water to dilute.3) A yellow to blue color change indicates spill is still caustic.4) If absorption rate seems slow, add cold water.5) Mix slurry until yellow or yellow-green.6) Add more mix (or water) as needed.7) Pick up and dispose of slurry.8) Clean spill area thoroughly.9) Clean scoop and return to barrel.

1) Dilute liquid alkali spills (over 50% concentration) with equal parts water.2) Sprinkle contents of S-105A (box inside barrel) around and into spill, containing the

spill if possible.3) Add cold water to control heat, if necessary.4) Color change of slurry from blue to pink indicates neutralization.5) Add more neutralizer as needed.6) Absorb liquid with clay absorbent (S-105B) in barrel.7) Dispose of absorbent.

8) Clean area thoroughly.

The flammable solvents that can be cleaned by this kit include, but are not limited to, Acetone,Alcohols, Decane, and Hexane.

Seven scoops (scoop located in barrel) of this material will absorb 1 pint of solvent.

NOTE: Do not use paper towels or rags to mop up a flammable soill as this can speed theevaporation of the material and thereby increase the potential hazard.

1) Identify type of solvent and estimated volume.2) Sprinkle contents of barrel around and into spill.3) Mix thoroughly until liquid is completely absorbed, adding more absorbent until area is dr4) Scoop up dry mixture.5) Dispose of mixture.6) Clean tools and return to box.

LIFEBOAT TERMINOLOGY

The following is a list of nautical terms used in the Lifeboat operations.See sketches on p. VI-1 and VI-2.

The gripes are the cables that hold the lifeboat securely in the davit cradle.The boat is released from the cradle by releasing the gripe ends that aresecured together by a pelican hook.

A pelican hook is a marine quick release fastener used to hold linestogether. Sliding a locking ring off the articulated fastener easily releasesthe two lines even when there is tension on the lines. This type fastenersecures the gripe ends together and the tricing pendants to the lifeboat.

The tricing pendants are heavy lines attached to the davits and, by pelicanhooks, to the life boat. As the boat is lowered the tricing pendants take upsome of the load of the lifeboat and bring the boat in against the side ofthe ship at the embarkation level. The tricing pendant pelican hooks canbe released by someone at the embarkation level who gets onto thelifeboat or by someone inside, reaching out of a porthole at each end ofthe enclosed lifeboat.

The frapping lines are light lines that are passed around the falls and usedto stabilize or secure the falls and control the swinging of the lifeboat inrough sea conditions.

The falls are generally the primary wire cables, pulleys, and release hooksused to lower (or raise) the lifeboat. The falls hooks are released fromwithin the lifeboat when a release handle inside the craft is pulled as thecraft enters the water.

The painter is typically a lifeboat bow line that is secured to the ship andpasses inside the falls. It keeps the lifeboat alongside the ship after thefalls are released.

The Jacob's ladder is a rope or chain and wood rung ladder secured at theship rail and unrolled to the water.

The lifeboats hang between gravity davits which are designed to lower the boatquickly and effortlessly under adverse conditions. The ship's crew is experi-enced in the safe and rapid handling of the boats and davits and, in most cases,will do all the work required in lowering the boats. However, all shipboardpersonnel should be familiar with the lowering procedure of a lifeboat asdescribed below.

LAUNCHING A LIFEBOAT

Release the pelican hook on the Bridge Deck rail at the middle of the boat.This releases the gripes that have secured the boat in the life boat cradle.(Life Boats 1,2 and 3).

Release two gripes whose ends are attached to the accommodation structure.(Life Boat 4).

Untie a light tag line tied to the rail at each end of the life boat This line falls tothe boat deck and sometimes needs tugging to insure release of the cradle hookson the davits.

The boat is now ready to be lowered to the embarkation deck.

Release the brake by pulling the red handle on the brake winch. The life boatbegins to roll down the trackway on the back of the davit until the craft ishanging overboard. The boat continues lowering down to the EmbarkationDeck where the tricing pendants begin taking the weight of the lifeboat andswing it in to the ship's side. The brakeman is cautioned not to put the fullweight of the boat on the tricing pendants or the release of the pelican hookswill be quite difficult and abrupt.

Secure the frapping lines around the falls to keep the lifeboat from swingingand secure the painter to the rail forward on the Focsle Deck. Do not useforward or aft painter if it is necessary to keep hatches closed because of gas orfire on the water. Do not pay out aft painter unless necessary due to danger offouling the propeller.

Lower the Jacob's ladder over side.

All personnel embark. Go to either side of the lifeboat to keep it roughlybalanced.

Fasten seat belt.

Close all doors, ventilators, and hatches from the inside.

Plug the lifeboat drain.

Release the tricing pendants through the fore and aft port holes and slack thefrapping lines.

The engine can be started while the craft is still hanging in the davits or beinglowered to the water. (Refer to the "Engine Operation" section below forinstructions.)

Page V- 5

Lower the Boat tothe water

Pull the hook release

Move away from thedanger area

Start the SprayCurtain, ifnecessary

Start the Engine

The tricing pendants must be released at either end of the lifeboat before thehelmsman pulls on a winch remote control wire over the lifeboat control console.

The boat will lower at a controlled speed of approximately 120 feet per minute.Tension must be kept on the winch control wire to continue descent as loweringstops immediately when tension is released.

This feature gives full control of the lifeboat descent and may be utilized tocontrol the time of entry into the water.

The boat must be waterbome for the hooks to be released. Any tension at eitherend will cause that hook to remain attached, with potentially disastrous results.

A designated person, on the order of the coxswain, pulls the Mills releasing hookhandle to give simultaneous release of forward and aft lifting hooks. (The painterholds the lifeboat alongside the ship as long as desired.)

Ideally, the hooks are released while the boat is on the crest of a swell. Thishandle is located on the port side of the coxswain's stand and is painted red.The warning "DANGER: LEVER RELEASES HOOKS" is printed next to thehandle.

Immediately after the lifeboat is waterborne and falls released, the helmsmanshould take the necessary action to maneuver the boat away from the danger area.

Should the boat be operating in an oil fire or a highly toxic environment, thewater spray and air supply systems should be utilized as necessary.(Refer to the "Air Supply and Water Spray Operation" section below.)

ENGINE OPERATION

The lifeboat is equipped with a Lister HRWM model 2 cylinder diesel enginewith a hydraulic starting system.

1. Verify that fuel supply line valves located at fuel tank and at engine fuel liftpump are open (normally open).

2. Verify that keel cooler hull penetration valves, located under the engine onstarboard side are fully open (normally open).

3. Check hydraulic pressure indicator located on starboard side of engine. Theindicator should show at least three rings (approximately 4,000 psi). Ifnecessary, the unit may be pumped up using the handle provided (starboardside of coxswain's stand). Verify decompression levers are facing forward(painted red on starboard side of motor).

4. Advance throttle setting by pushing knob down and pushing throttle forwardto the full throttle position.

5. Pull the starting lever up (starboard side of coxswain's stand), until the slackis out of cable. Then pull smartly up to start engine.

6. After engine starts and comes up to speed, place throttle in desired position.

Page V-6

Manually Startthe Engine

Stop the Engine

Air Supply System

7. To operate the boat ahead, push the control lever forward. Initial movementwill operate the transmission and shift into forward gear. Further movementwill increase engine speed. Operation astern is the same except that the controllever is pulled back toward the helmsman.

The engine may be started manually by means of a crank at the aft end of theengine. In this case, the decompression levers must first be facing aft. While oneperson cranks the engine at a steady rate, someone else must push the decompres-sion levers ahead (simultaneously) to start the engine.

1. Place throttle/gear shift lever in the neutral position.

2. Pull back on the fuel cut out handle on the port side of the engine.

HYDRAULIC STARTER OPERATION

The engine in this lifeboat is fitted with a Bryce Berger Handraulic hydraulicstarting system. To initially put the hydraulic starting system into operation, theaccumulator must be manually pumped up using the following procedure:

1. Insert the pump handle provided onto the lever provided, which is located onthe forward end of the engine's starboard side, behind the indicator.

2. Operate the pump until the pressure gauge indicates 4,000 psi minimum (threerings on the indicator). This is adequate pressure to start the engine. Once theaccumulator has been manually pressurized sufficiently to start the engine, theengine may be operated.

AIR SUPPLY AND WATER SPRAY OPERATION

When operating the lifeboat in a fire or toxic environment with all hatches, doors,and vents closed, it is necessary to utilize the internal air supply to provide suffi-cient oxygen for engine combustion and passenger respiration. The air released intothe compartment also operates the water spray system to cool the outer shell of thecraft.

The air supply system consists of compressed air cylinders, pressure gauge, reliefvalve, and shut-off valves configured to provide the safe release of air at the properrate.

In order to operate the system open the regulator flow as desired with the air supplyvalve. With a full charge of air the system will operate for approximately 8minutes, allowing the craft to cover a distance of approximately 1 mile whichshould be sufficient to clear the hazardous area.

Operation of the cabin air system at full pressure will automatically cause the waterspray system to activate, covering the outer shell of the lifeboat with a water spray.Ensure that all openings are securely dogged down. The pump is automaticallylubricated. To check this, oil drops should be visible in the sight glass at the top ofthe pump. A slight overpressure can be maintained in the cabin by not opening theair valve fully, should the water spray not be desired.

TYPICAL STORAGE. PAINTER SECURED TOSTRONG POINT. DO NOT PULL OUT PAINTER.To free the raft lashings for launching by hand, operatethe manual release. If the Dunlop Hydrostatic releaseis incorporated and the emergency does not permitmanual launching, the raft will be released automati-cally as the ship sinks.

THE RAFT STARTING TO INFLATE.The painter has been pulled out to full length andthen given a sharp jerk to start inflation of the raft.There is 80 ft (24 m) to pull out before thishappens.

BOARDING THE RAFT.Boarding may be possible directly from a ship'sladder into the raft. When boarding from the sea,place one foot firmly on arung of the ladder, grasp thehand holds provided on the top of the buoyancy tube;heave the body up and slide head-first into the raft.The raft in this condition can also be jumped on towith safely, but not from too great a height. Jump intoentrance and get clear. Do not jump onto canopy.

LAUNCHING THE RAFT OVER-BOARD. THEPAINTER HAS, IF NECESSARY, BEEN MADEFAST TO A NEW STRONGPOINT BEFORELAUNCHING. CONTAINER WILL FLOAT.

THE RAFT PARTIALLY INFLATED ANDBOARDABLE.The raft may be boarded at this stage. It will benecessary to crawl under the canopy, as sitting on thetop of it may delay inflation.

In the unlikely event of a raft inflating on its side itcan easily be righted by one person if the correctprocedure is followed:Turn the raft with canopy into wind.Hold on to the cylinder and use the righting handholdsas shown. Lean well back, and, as the raft comesover, 'swim from under'.

Fire

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY OR FIRE

Use appropriate emergency first aid advice for the various chemicals, electrical equipment, andmechanical equipment used. For chemical emergencies, see specific sections on Material Safety DataSheets.

For serious injuries immediately contact the ship's physician.

In general, METS will respond to two types of fires, those in the lab stack and those on other parts of theship.

When there is an emergency in the lab stack, they will probably be the first fire fighting squad at the scene.Notify bridge initially; the METS will alert personnel in the immediate area of an emergency or fire.

All non-essential personnel will be evacuated. A fire alarm will be pulled and the bridge will be notifiedfirst of the extent of the emergency or fire and what backup help is needed.

The technician at the site should immediately try to fight the fire.

The majority of fires encountered will be small trash can type fires. Fire extinguishers are located in keyspots and can be easily obtained.

The MET members responding to the scene should bring walkie talkies for communications. Fire hosesare in the stair wells. Remember, a quick, thought-out attack of a fire will confine most fires. Help is onlyminutes away. In the event that primary fire fighting does not confine the blaze, proceed with secondarymeasures.

The elevator is to be sent to the hold deck to prevent the personnel from getting trapped inside.

Evacuate all personnel from the Lab Stack. Remove all wounded and injured that are transportable, andthe doctor should be brought in to tend to those that can not be moved. First aid boxes are locatedthroughout the Lab Stack.

All fire dampers should be pulled to prevent smoke from spreading through the Lab Stack and to confinethe fire and heat and prevent an input of oxygen.

All fume hoods and heat hoods should be shut off for the same reason. Carbon dioxide or dry fireextinguishers should be used throughout the Lab Stack.

All areas in the Lab Stack are filled with electrical plugs and water should only be used in a last ditcheffort.

In the Chemistry Lab and in other laboratories with chemicals, one should only enter while wearing aScott air pack.

The Downhole Measurements Lab is located on top of the core lab roof. Access to it is up the stairs at the aftend of the catwalk just outside the core lab. Another access is from the DP deck on the forward end and walkbetween core liner storage boxes. It is a small lab composed of a control lab, an electronics section, and theworkshop. There is an exit on the port side and an emergency exit on the forward wall at the starboard end. Ifthere was an emergency, one could leave the deck by going down the stairs and crossing the rig floor, goingalong the catwalk, or going by the DP deck. Inside there are two fire alarms and a CO2 fire extinguisher.

In case of Fire

CryogenicMagnetometer

BRIDGE DECK

The Core Lab, Physical Properties, and the Paleomagnetics Labs occupy the entirebridge deck level of the Lab Stack. The Core Lab has seven entrances. One to thecatwalk on the forward wall, two others to the catwalk on the port side. There are alsotwo entrances to the interior stairwell and two to the elevator. There are one showerand two eye wash stations.

In the event of an emergency or a fire, the elevator must be brought to the hold leveland secured. There are flammable liquids like mounting media against the starboardwall and a flammable liquids cabinet in the Core Splitting Room. There is a heliumbottle in the Physical Properties area that should be turned off. The dampers for theventilation system are located halfway down the stairs in the stairwell. The fire hoseis also located in the stairwell but due to the large number of electrical outlets, shouldonly be used in a last ditch effort. There is a CO2 extinguisher against the wall in thePhysical Properties area.

There are two other areas of concern: the MST and cryogenic magnetometer.

The MST includes a small Cs137 gamma ray source which is housed in a steel body.Keep this area as cool as possible in case of fire. If the housing is damaged by flames,check for radiation leak. If a leak is detected, secure and/or isolate it until properdisposal.

The cryogenic magnetometer is filled with liquid helium which will vaporizeand increase in pressure if it is heated. There are automatic pressure relief valveswhich would help dissipate the pressure. If the electricity is lost, it would take at least3 days for the liquid helium to boil off. But if heat is applied, the expansion rate ingoing from a liquid to a gas phase is 700:1. If the helium should vaporize, there wouldbe a tremendous amount of heat loss, formation of ice, and a lot of noise with theescaping pressure, and with the expansion, the air would be displaced. With thehelium displacing the air, the fire would go out, but a fire fighter could not breathe inthere. If the magnetometer should ever warm uncontrollably, the two ends are themost dangerous since they are attached rather loosely. The pressure would most likel yblow out both sides. Keep the fire and heat away from this area as much as possible.

Page VIII- 6

Electrical Fire

Major Fire

Danger ofExplosion

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES FOR CRYOGENIC MAGNETOMETER

Sound a Fire Alarm. Notify the Bridge.

Use a suitable Class C (e.g., CO2) fire extinguisher immediately outside the PaleomagneticsLab by the water fountain. Other CO2 extinguishers are on the focsle deck at the forward endof the passageway and at the entrance to the Chemistry Lab. Notify the Paleomagnetics LabTechnician.

Prevent the cryogenic magnetometer vessel (in the mu-metal cylinder) from overheating. Ifthe instrument is subjected to direct flames or intense heat, try to keep it cool with a CO2

extinguisher. Use of salt water is a last resort.

Overheating may lead to rapid boil-off.

Impact

Aside from major impacts from things coming through the bulkhead from the rig, minorimpacts may cause critical damage to vulnerable areas such as the exposed plumbing and thethree oscillation damper cylinders mounted atop the main mu-metal cylinder. Any crack orleak to the liquid helium vessel may lead to rapid boil-off.

Rapid Boil-off

Notify the Bridge of the situation.

If, because of impact, overheating, or some mishandling of the instrument, rapid boil-offoccurs, it presents a DANGER OF EXPLOSION OF THE HELIUM VESSEL.

If a gas plume of cold helium isevidentand it cannot be stopped immediately, EVACUATETHE BRIDGE DECK OF THE LAB MODULE.

If a minor leak occurs or is suspected and cannot be controlled, monitor the pressure of theliquid helium vessel.

In the event of rising pressure, be on your guard. If the pressure as read on the helium vesselpressure gauge (mounted atop the mu-metal cylinder) reaches 10 psig, EVACUATE THEBRIDGE DECK OF THE LAB MODULE. If personnel are in the vicinity of a voluminoushelium boil-off, they should breathe close to the floor to avoid asphyxiation.

The liquid helium dewar (superinsulated storage vessel) is normally at a few psi overatmospheric pressure and the liquid boils off at a rate of less than a litre per day. The dewarcan hold 100 liters (about 25 gal) of liquid helium.

Helium remains liquid only at the extremely low temperature of 4.2°K (-268.8°C or -451.8°F)and it is very sensitive to changes in pressure. A sudden pressure drop (caused perhaps by abreak in the pressurized system) will cause the helium to "flash" into a boil. Since a volumeof liquid helium evolves 683 times that volume in gaseous helium (at room temperature) theresult could be explosive. 100 liters (a full tank) of liquid will evolve 68,300 liters of gas. Thisis about 1.5 times the volume of the Paleomagnetics Lab.

The manufacturer believes that if the vessel were to explode the end caps of the cylinderwould simply pop off, since they are held in place by the superinsulation vacuum.

FOCSLE DECK

Page VIII- 9

In case of fire

FOCSLE DECK

The forecastle, or focsle, deck in the laboratory stack is the center for the analyticallaboratories on the SEDCO EP-411/J0IDES Resolution. Consequently, this deck has thepotential of being extremely hazardous in the event of a fire. The analytical laboratoriescontain numerous pieces of electrical equipment, highly flammable gases, and chemicalswhich are flammable, corrosive, and yield toxic fumes. Hazardous chemicals and/or gaseslocated on other decks normally are isolated and contained in special storage cabinets. On thefocsle deck, chemicals and gases are in every laboratory and in constant use, greatly increasingthe potential hazards.

Sound a Fire Alarm. If no alarm has been sounded, set off the most accessible alarm andcontact the bridge immediately. A hand pull fire alarm is located in the chemistry lab next tothe emergency exit, port wall.

Shut Down Fume and Heat Hoods.Tho, illuminated on/off switch for all the fume hoodsis located in the stairwell, foc'sle deck level. An identical switch for the heat hood is positionedon the aft wall, starboard side of the chemistry lab. A green light indicates the hoods are on.

Shut Off Hydrogen Generators in Chemistry Lab. Because hydrogen is an explosive gas andburn invisibly, it is important the generators are shut down. Two generators are located centeraisle, port side, on a shelf farthest aft. Normally only one generator will be in use at a time,and can be identified by an illuminated green light on the front of the generator. Simply throwthe on/off toggle switch on the front of the generator to the off position.

Turn Off Gas Cylinders in Chemistry and X-ray Labs. Cylinders containing propane and anargon gas mixture (P10) are located in the XRF/XRD lab against the port wall farthest aft.Cylinders containing oxygen, helium, and a gas mixture line the starboard wall in the entranceof the Chemistry Lab. Also in the forward port corner of the Chemistry Lab is a small cylinderof acetylene which is turned off with the wrench hanging above it. All other aforementionedcylinders should be turned off by the knob on the top of the cylinder.

Shut Down Radiation Source in XRD and XRF Units. The XRF unit, positioned along theport wall, has a very clearly labeled, large, red button on the forward corner of the unit. Theshut down button for the XRD unit is located across the front of the unit marked by the word"generator" above it.

Shut Ventilation Dampers. Dampers are in the Thin Section Lab and can be shut by pullingdown on the two thin cable loops hanging in the upper port corner, forward wall. Otherdampers are between floors in the stairwell and controlled by the labeled lever.

Prevent the Fire From Spreading to Flammable Chemicals. Flammable chemicals arenormally stored beneath sinks and fume hoods. These cabinets are clearly labeled. Prevent thefire from reaching these storage cabinets with the aid of the available fire extinguishers. Thereare two CO2 extinguishers located on the focsle deck. One in the hall next to the stairwell door,and the other in the Chemistry Lab, forward, port corner. Remember, these laboratories arefilled with expensive electronics/ electrical equipment so do not use water to fight the fire ifat all possible. Also, many of the chemicals in the labs can be corrosive and have toxic fumes.Use extreme caution when dealing with these chemicals. Avoid contact with chemicals youare unfamiliar with and wear a Scott Air pack when entering a lab where chemicals mayalready be exposed.

Page VIII-10

AdditionalEmergencyEquipment

Spill Kits. Helpful for preventing the spread andclean up of hazardous chemical spills.Located in the Chemistry Lab, above the sink farthest aft, starboard side.

Eye Wash, Emergency Shower, Burn Kit. To be used in the immediate treatment of aperson having contact with corrosive chemicals. Eye wash and showers are located onthe focsle deck from the stairwell. An emergency exit is located in the Chemistry Lab onthe port wall. An escape ladder is outside, forward of the exit.

Fire Station/Water Hose. One is located on the focsle deck level in the stairwell. It shouldbe manned and readied but it should be used with discretion due to the large amount ofelectrical equipment located on the focsle deck.

Fire Blanket. A clearly labeled fire blanket is in the Chemistry Lab, directly aft of theentrance by approximately 10 feet.

MAIN DECK

The main deck of the Lab Stack is composed of the System Manager office, computer usersroom, lounge, xerox area, the Curatorial Technician^ office, and the Yeoperson's offices.

There are six exits on this deck: Two exit into the stairwell and two are for the elevator andtwo are to the starboard passageway. The aft starboard door can only be opened from inside.

In the xerox area there are two Scott air packs and a CO2 fire extinguisher. The heat detectorsare placed throughout the Main Deck: the Xerox machine area, the Curatorial Technician^and the Yeoperson's offices, Science Lounge, the Movie Room, the Computer User Roomand the System Managers office. An alarm is in the lounge area and a fire hose is on the aftstarboard wall in the movie room.

The computer area is protected with a Halon system. The Halon fire extinguisher system isused for fighting class A, B, and C fires. It is intended to smother the fire in an area that issusceptible to damage from other fire systems. The vapors have a low level of toxicity butwhen heated to temperatures greater than 900°F, decompose into products that have a muchgreater potential toxicity problem. Consequently, in the case of fire, evacuate all personnel.The vapors have a characteristic acrid smell, even in concentrations as low as a few parts permillion. There are five hand-held halon extinguishers in the Computer area, a halon alarm inthe Computer Users room, and fire alarms in the Computer Machine room and in theComputer User Room. The gas is stored as a liquid in cylinders that are connected to a pulldischarge control valve. The cylinders are under pressure and when discharging, will exhibita smooth fan shaped pattern. The control box is mounted in the stairwell just outside the doorto the computer users room. Under orders from Captain, Chief Engineer, or Mate-in-Charge,break the glass and pull the handle of the valve control pull box. Also break the glass and pullthe handle of the cylinder control pull box. The alarm will sound for 30 seconds beforedischarge to warn personnel to evacuate the space. There are three dampers under the floorpanel at the forward end of the computer users room. It is marked and there is a panel-removing device to aid in getting to the damper. Other dampers are in the stairwell. Louversin three doors should also be closed in the event of a fire.

FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES IN COMPUTER ROOM

Raise Alarm. Pull station located at Main Deck entrance to Lab Stack.

Notify Bridge of fire. State class, location, and size of fire.

Use the five portable halon fire extinguishers (aft end of the Computer machine room,forward section of the Computer machine room, the Computer office, near the aft exit to theUser room, and next to the forward exit in the User room) to fight the fire until the fire teamarrives.

Evacuate and secure 1Mb Stack.

Trip 1Mb Stack ventilation shut down from Bridge.

Shut all fire dampers below false floor and in fan room. Shut louvers in the door.

Disable elevator.

Disable power to computers (Liebert switch).

Page VIII-13

Four crew members who are familiar with the space and equipped with protectiveclothing, B.A. sets and portable CO2 extinguishers (the MET squad are the first tostart fighting the fire) enter the Lab Stack and proceed to extinguish the fire.

Four crew members who are familiar with the space and equipped with protectiveclothing, and B.A. sets back up the MET squad.

Two crew members run out fire hoses. Do not use water in the Lab Stack unlessthe portable CO2 and halon extinguishers fail to put out fire.

Two crew members supply stretcher, spare B.A. bottles, and portable CO2

extinguishers.

If fire is out of control, evacuate the space and make sure that all ventilation issecured. Take a head count and await orders from the Captain and/or ChiefEngineer to activate the fixed halon deluge system.

Wait a specific amount of time for halon to extinguish the fire.

Have two qualified men in protective clothing and B.A. sets for standby.

After fire is extinguished, be sure that acid exhaust vents are restarted.

UPPER TWEEN DECK

Page VIII-15

UPPER TWEEN DECK

The Upper Tween Deck includes the photo lab, the electronics shop, the fan room and themezzanine landing. There is an exit to the stairwell, to the elevator, and a ladder at the aftstarboard corner of the hold which can be accessible from the Gym on the Lower Tween Deck.

Just outside of the elevator in the landing area, there are a CO2 fire extinguisher, a fire hose,a damper, a fire alarm and a first aid station.

In the stairwell there is a water tight door to the Koomey Room. This has both an automaticbutton and a hand-operated crank. It is also connected to the bridge and in an emergency thecaptain can close the door from the bridge. Caution must be used around it. There are CO2 andHalon bottles in the Koomey Room. There are dampers in the mezzanine area. The sparehelium, nitrogen, oxygen, and P-10 bottles are stored on the Mezzanine deck.

LOWER TWEEN DECK

The Lower Tween Deck is composed of a reefer storage area which has a cagedarea where chemicals are stored. The other cold storage is a solvent lockerequipped with a CO2 fire extinguishing system. The fire potential in the reefer iskept down by a cool temperature and controlled humidity. The second look lab hasacid storage cabinets. There also is a storage closet in the second look lab.

A refrigerated solvent locker is in the landing in front of the elevator. Because thesesolvents are highly flammable, the exhaust fan connected to the locker must beoperated at least 1 minute prior to opening the door in order to vent any flammablevapors. The vapors exhaust to the roof. Also in the landing area are corrosiveslockers (hydrogen peroxide and HC1).

There is a spill center for the chemicals.

There are a CO2 fire extinguisher, a nozzle that is attached to the CO2 system firehose, fire alarm, a damper, and an eye wash station in the landing area. The CO2

system can be operated either automatically or manually. Carbon dioxide isheavier than air and will smother a fire and reduce the heat with its cooling effect.Since a person will suffocate in an atmosphere of carbon dioxide, caution must beexercised before entering the locker. The carbon dioxide is stored as a liquid incylinders connected to the discharge control valve assembly. The system willoperate automatically when the temperature in the locker rises to the critical point.When this point is reached, the fire detector activates the discharge valve. Thesystem can also be activated manually by breaking the glass on the control valveon the front of the locker and pulling the lever or by pulling out the pins on theindividual cylinders.

If there was a fire, do not enter the area without a Scott air pack.

The exits from this deck are similar to those from the Upper Tween: an exit to thestairwell, an exit to the elevator, and a ladder at the aft starboard accessible fromthe Gym.

HOLD DECK

The hold deck is the lowermost level of the Lab Stack. It is composed of a refrigerated stores, thefreezer, the hold stores, and what's left of the casing hold which is known as the hold storage. Theexits are to the stairwell or up the ladder at the aft port end or the elevator which would not be usedin an emergency.

In the staging area, there are dampers, a CO2 fire extinguisher, a fire alarm, and a fire hose.

The elevator machine room is adjacent to the elevator. On the aft wall of the machine room, thereare controls which are switched off to secure the elevator.

This is potentially a dangerous area because 1) the floor is made of wooden planks, 2) large amountsof cardboard and paper products are stored here, and 3) sawdust from the saws can accum ulate. Caremust be taken to insure that the drains are not clogged with sawdust.

There are two fire extinguishers, a foam and a dry chemical, in the hold storage area. High pressureair storage tanks are placed overhead, which must be kept cool or emptied in the event of a fire.

The Hold Deck is equipped with a sprinkler system, which will be triggered in case of fire.

FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES - HOLD DECK

Raise Alarm. Pull station(s) located near door leading from stairwell to Casing Hold on Hold, UpperTwcen, and Lower Tween Decks.

In case of fire

Caution

UNDERWAY GEOPHYSICS LAB

The large amount of electronic equipment located in the Underway Geophysics Lab prohibitsthe use of water to extinguish a fire in that compartment. Electrical fires, as well as fires ofanother nature, are to be extinguished preferably with CO2 or with dry chemical fire extin-guishers. A CO2 fire extinguisher is located directly to the right inside the water-tight doorleading into the lab. A pull-type fire alarm is located directly below the E.T. work bench. Thisalarm should be activated immediately upon the discovery of a fire. A general alarm bell ismounted on the inboard wall and adjacent to it is the wire handle for closing the labs' firedamper. This damper, when closed, will shut off all outside ventilation to the lab. Two firedampers located in the Warehouse will isolate the Underway Geophysics Lab from theWarehouse. If the Warehouse is unmanned, a key to the door is found in the Mechanic's S hop.The power switch for shutting off the exhaust fans for all Raytheon recorders is located in thecorner behind the Analog recorders. This switch should be placed in the off position in theevent of a fire. Electrical power to the lab can be shut off by throwing switch 8SP-20 whichis located on the power distribution panel in the Aft Thyrig Room.

If a fire should occur in the battery compartment adjacent to the Underway Geophysics Lab,the exhaust for that compartment should be shut off immediately and the outside ventsplugged. There are plugs for these vents located near the vents themselves.

The occurrence of any fire, no matter how small and controllable it may initially appear, isreason enough to activate the fire alarm located in the lab. The first person on the scene shouldactivate this alarm and begin to immediately fight the fire with the CO2 fire extinguisher locatedin the lab.

Do not use water to fight the fire in this laboratory, for doing so may result in a severeelectrical shock!

FANTAIL

There are several important concerns to be aware of when working on the fan tail with regardsto fire. The hydrophone jacket is made of polypropylene and will burn vigorously once ignited.Compounding this problem is the flammable nature of the eel oil inside the jacket. Once theeel oil is on fire it would be very difficult to extinguish.

Two dry chemical fire extinguishers are located at the end of each gray work bench. A generalalarm bell is located on an overhead beam amidships near the boom power supply unit. Thereis also a large resistor bank located between the two hydrophone winches. This resistor bankproduces a great deal of heat when operating and care should be exercised never to introducewater into it at any time. This could cause the bank to short-out and possibly produce sparksand flame. There are main power cut-off switches to all fantail booms and winches located onthe bulkhead above the boom power supply unit. These should be turned off in the event ofafire.

Should a fire occur on the fantail, the first person on the scene should immediately activate thefire alarm in the Underway Geophysics Lab and call the bridge to disclose the nature of thefire. The individual should then cut off all power to the booms and winches and begin to fightthe fire with the dry chemical fire extinguishers located at the end of each work bench. Thelast ditch effort is to cast over the explosives lockers on both sides and the helicopter fuel podson the starboard side. Also located on the helipad overhead are foam and water hoses whichcould be stretched down the fantail area.

LIBRARY

The library is located in the forward unit of the ship on the focsle deck. It has two catererstorehouses just forward of it. They are connected with the library by two doors but are alwayslocked and not considered exits. Instead the only exit is near the center of the library.

At either end of the library are two CO2 fire extinguishers. There is a smoke alarm and a drychemical fire extinguisher in the hall leading to the library. There is a fire alarm directly abovethe telephone. There also are two dampers in the library and one outside on either side of thecaterer's stores.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE OF WATER JEL BURN PRODUCTS

Introduction

Cautions

Water Jel Burn Products are suitable for emergency use on burns prior to medicaltreatment They are conveniently packaged for quick application in any emergencysituation. Water Jel Burn Products may be applied directly to the burned skin or overburnt clothing that has adhered to the burn area. Water Jel products help reduce pain;cools the skin by heat transference; prevents the progression of burns by eliminatingexcess heat; and helps prevent infection. Water Jel is non-toxic, non-adherent, biodegrad-able, and water-soluble. Water Jel's water-soluble characteristics allow quick removal inthe Emergency Room.

When applying Water Jel Burn Products the following precautions must be exercised:

1. For burns due to electricity, the power supply must be deenergized before apply-ing the Water Jel Product. This is to protect the rescuer as well as aid in theprevention of further injury to the burn victim. Once the power supply has beencut, Water Jel Products can be applied to treat the burned areas resulting fromelectricity.

2. For burns due to chemicals, acids, or bases, follow the manufacturers productinformation [Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)]. This is to avoid further damageto the burn injury due to the fact some materials are water reactive. Precautionarymeasures in the MSDS should first be instituted. Once this has been accom-plished, Water Jel Burn Products may be applied to treat the resulting burn injury.

3. Once Water Jel Products have been applied they should be left in place untilprofessional medical attention at a proper medical facility is available.

4. At all times, airway, breathing, and circulation must be maintained.

5. Water Jel Products can be refrigerated but they are susceptible to freezing. Iffrozen, and then thawed, there will be no effect on the gel's properties.

OF THE WATER JEL BURN/EXTINGUISHER, FIRE BLANKET-PLUS OR

Hold canister in the upright position with the lid to the top.

In a quick snapping action break the paper seals on the plastic clips and pullthe clip out and away from its catch.

After repeating this action on all 4 clips, remove the canister top by lifting itoff the canister.

Pull up on the sealed plastic bag which is contained within the canister.

Grasp the bag on each side and in a quick ripping action tear open the bagalong its sealed top QT cut the bag open with scissors if available.

Remove the Water Jel product from the plastic bag. Avoid unnecessaryhandling or allowing it to touch the ground once it has been removed fromits plastic bag and the canister.

If removal of burned clothing does not further damage the burn area or slowdown the rescue attempt, the clothing should be quickly removed and theburn exposed. If burnt clothing covers the burn area, it should be left inplace. The Water Jel will work its way through the burnt clothing and stillprovide first aid.

For persons who are on fire, the fire can be extinguished by wrapping themin the Water Jel product. The Water Jel should remain in place and not beremoved. Seek professional medical help immediately. Extinguishment andemergency first aid are accomplished in this one-step action.

For persons who sustain burn injuries where the fire was not extinguishedby Water Jel, the Water Jel Product shall be immediately applied to the burninjury upon arrival at the scene. Depending on the size of the Water Jelproduct used, and the size of the burn injury, the Water Jel product may beloosely wrapped around or just placed on the burn area.

Pour any remaining Water Jel from the plastic bag within the canister ontothe blanket/dressing.

The Water Jel Product may be loosely secured by conventional bandagingmethods (i.e., gauze, triangular bandages, etc.). This is to secure the Productto the wound during transportation to the Medical Facility.

Once applied, Water Jel Burn Products should not be removed untilprofessional medical help at a proper medical facility is available.

Use of the Water Jel Product does not constitute an "end-all" to burntreatment. As in the case for all medical emergencies, professional medicalhelp should be summoned and consulted.
